AfriCamps at Stanford Hills  Verified Listing

Ten self-catering boutique glamping tents are situated on the foothill of the Klein River Mountain range overlooking a dam and the Stanford Valley. This foodie delight is only a 15-minute drive from Hermanus and can be reached from Cape Town in two hours.

Stanford Hills Estate is fast becoming one of the area’s most popular attractions. Aside from offering tastings and sales of their award-winning range of wines, there are a variety of other activities and attractions. The restaurant, The Tasting Room, is set above a dam with endless views over the Stanford Valley. The restaurant has a reputation for laid-back fun, with an emphasis on fresh and inventive food of an exceptionally high standard. Chef Bridget changes her chalkboard menu daily according to what is locally fresh and available, including from her own vegetable garden. The farm also produces Proteas and Pincushions, which are endemic to South Africa, so from August through November the farm is filled with these colourful blooms. The farm offers horse-riding, hiking, and even whale-watching by air in a small airplane that takes off from the farm’s private landing strip. You can also have a swim in a farm dam, try your hand at fishing, or simply lie in bed and listen to the birds.
